The other night, I was hanging out with a male acquaintance. We were catching up and swapping stories of dating frustrations. As we complained about a lot of the same stuff, I kept catching myself thinking, “wait, I thought that was just a guy thing.” This dude was definitely not the first who’s expressed to…
Confidence
Guys, I am all about my leisure time. Is that me admitting that I’m lazy? Close– but I don’t think I check off enough lazy symptoms to classify myself in that way. This weekend, I substituted some of my chill time with much needed socialization. While it was all stellar, I had a lot of…
Calm and Happy
Okay, yeah, I’m definitely not giving this blog the attention that it’s accustomed to. Consumed with guilt, like any normal blog-parent, I feel obligated to write what I can to give the attention deserved. Last time I posted, I wrote about transitions. With a suffocating amount of ambiguity, I wrote that I’m feeling my world…
Transitions on Transitions
Things are changing. Can ya’ll feel it? I know it’s not just me because there’s a whole bunch of craziness going on in the sky right now. My hippy dippy astrology sources are buzzing.

Yesterday, I said goodbye to one of my sisters and her family for the last time before they leave to travel the world. Beginning next week, they are literally spending…

So High
Ive been told that I have this habit of stating my emotions explicitly. Like, maybe I’m sitting in a hot tub with my friends and I’m feeling nostalgic, hopeful, grateful, happy, and content all at once. I will literally announce what I’m feeling because that moment is notably happier than the other 98.5% of my…
When People Suck pt.2
There’s a reason we don’t talk about mental health as much as we should. There’s a reason suffering people suffer alone. There’s a reason that I’m so sure our world is full of entitled people ignoring problems that don’t apply to them. There’s a reason I started this blog, a reason for my mental health…
